How connect 40 HDD (250GB/Sata) to one computer
-
Hello,
I have 40 Hdd (250GB) witch connector sata, how connect this disk to one computer and which pool will by best for my mining.I have one more question:
To pool.burstcoin.eu have connected 3 computers and pool not cumulative my all TB only one at the same time, why?Thanks for help.

@MrGate Use a SAS/SATA expander chassis like this: https://unixsurplus.myshopify.com/collections/rackable-servers/products/rackable-16-bay-3-5-sas-sata-ssd-san-nas-jbod-3u-storage-array-se3016
Each chassis holds 16 drives, and the chassis can be daisy chained. For 40 drives you'd need 3 chassis and at least one SAS/SATA card with an external port - though I would recommend getting 1 card/chassis.
-
Thanks for reply.
I have 2,5" disks.
This means
3xrackable 16 bay
3x sas/sata card
3x pcie in computer ?
-
@MrGate For 2.5" drives you could look at two of these: https://unixsurplus.myshopify.com/collections/supermicro-servers/products/supermicro-2u-system-24-bay-storage-nas-raid-filler-server
48 drives, self contained miners.

Thanks for answer.
What is the best mining:
one computer witch 40 HDD or 3-4 copmuters 10-13 HDD ?
Best pool for me ?
Edit:
I have one more question:How pool counts my all TB witch diffrent computers ?
-
@MrGate 40 x 250GB drives is ~ 10TB. With that, any pool except maybe Ninja would be fine. Wether to use one rig or two depends a lot on the setup of the rigs, but in your case I'd probably go with 2 righs doing ~ 20 Drives each. To do all 40 in on you'd need to span drive partitions over at least two disks - and this is not recommended.
-
@haitch thanks for reply my question.
You recommend mining to one adres two rigs, or separately two adres two rigs ?
And i have problem witch pool.burstcoin.eu not staking all my TB witch 3 computers about 3 TB, only one at a time?
It's my fault ? Plots are not overwritten i have only in this moment a small hole between two plots.
I use: 2x0,9 TB in one computer, hole, 3x 0,2 TB on the second computer and 2x0,2 TB on the third computer, this good ?
This hole is results of ploting next hard drive.
-
@MrGate Two rigs - either one address or two, either works.
The mining plot size shown on the pool is only an estimate, and is not actually used for anything. It'll also depend on which miner you're using. If you use Blago's CPU miner, it will report the plot size accurately, but for only one copy of the miners, not all X. If you use any other miner the plot size is an estimate (guess) based on your deadline submissions, and could be inaccurate.
-
I'm mine witch blago cpu miner one the three computers. Ok then i understand this.
Then my profit is not dependent on the one capacity ?
-
@MrGate No, the capacity is for info only. Your reward is solely on the number and quality of deadlines you submit.
-
Thanks for answering to my all question . Regards
-
@MrGate You're welcome.
-
@MrGate Be careful how much you spend on interfacing a large number of small drives. 2 x 5TB USB drives are less than $300 new and probaly less than $200 second hand.
